I thought that Peter Carey could make the life of 19th century French aristocrats interesting to me. I was wrong. In fact, he didn't even make it readable, as the book was an overlong slog.
The best thing in the novel was the artwork on the cover page, but I doubt that it was down to Carey himself...
Or maybe the best thing in the novel was the fact that I only spent a couple of pounds on it in one of my last Fopp sprees?
